To start the lesson the students will be given a bag of objects. Students will close their eyes and try to guess what is inside the bag. The students will then talk briefly about what they know about fossils. Next they will practice different techniques for wedging clay. They will then practice imprinting into the clay. After practicing they will roll out their clay using the tools so that the clay is the right thickness. After they roll out their clay they will imprint into the clay. After the imprinting they will color their clay using metallic colors.
This lesson would be great to incorporate with science as the lesson discusses. To go further I would have the students write about what time period their fossil they created was from. They would need to write a paragraph about the fossil (4-6 sentences). This would be good so that the students can show their learning.
